The number of land troops which it has on board is not yet knoWn. The enemy's in tentiou is probably to make a diversion, and, create. a disturbance in the country, but that view shall. .111°4 c.:rtainly not be attained. " The garrisons of Bilboa, San Antler°, and Vit . tori:i, are more than sufficient to prevent a landing, should the enemy's force amount to from 8 to 10,000 intn."

An article in the Papers from Bohemia, under of the '2Bth JutY,ntent ions, that the tour of the Ex• King of Holland was solely for the re-establish ment of his health ; and that—he had become a birder in the house of a Physician, of the name of Amattost, residing at Toplitz. • A Letter from . an Officer in' the Briti•!3 army in Portugat gives the follOWing account of the move menti r,r ihe.itoops:-- ~ After General CRAUFURD'S affirm on the 24th, near A!meida, General PATON'S division was on the night of the ;Zsth obliged to abanJoa Pinhel, and next day it fell back near to Villa Franca das Naves. The Li;hißrigade also retired to Fraxedas, about a league in front of Alverca ; the Light Cavalry remaining, in al.vance. Early in the morning of the 28th, he Bri gade under Lord BLANTYRE, which was at Villa Franco das Naves, retired about a league and a half to join itt6 Guards under Colonel . STorivoaD, and on that same day Colonel STOPFORD'S division, consist ing then of the Guards and of Lord 'BLANTYRE'S Mi t otic. retreated seven leagues and a hall to Sam payo, on the high road to Coimbra. " The v. hole army retired about t'he same time, and the light division was that night (the 281 b) at Celorico, Tile cavalry alone were left a league in front of that i)lace. N.xt morning. the 29th, Colo nal SToPFortn's division retired to Pinhancos, two leagues from Sampayo. - ' Letters . from Oporto state that some apprehen sions were entertained there lest the division of Ge neral JusoT should approach that city by the way of Zamora. Every thing that was valuable bad been embarked, and Colonel T R p,NT had set out to put himself at the head of t4,u00 Militia to oppose the enemy's approach, but it was feared this force wolild not be adequate to the task of resisting the formidably division of *General .

Yes.crday the first pile of Vauxhall Bridge was driven into the bed of the Thames, and was saluted by a discharge of cannon from Cumberland Gardens. This new bridge is to be built just above the Vaux- 7 ball Ferry, and will pass over Just on the east side of Cumberland G.irdens. Considerabe speculations are eonneeted with this improvement.

We most sincerely hope that the influence< of the Prince, who is related to,the unfortunate Royal Fa mily of Spain, and whose personal virtues apd mili tary talents entitle him to the respell and confidence of mankind, may contribute to release the nations of Europe from the tyranny of the vulgar ruffian by whom they have so long been insulted and oppressed.
